Majid Majidi is a film-maker with a heart. Each film he makes is rooted deeply into humanity. He uses the medium to tell us stories about individuals who work within certain boundaries, who are caught up in an imperfect world, but...whatever domain they belong to, they come out shining in love and affection.
In Song of Sparrows, Majidi takes us on a journey of a man struggling to make a living. Existing within the constraints of society, trying his best to provide for his family, he lives an ordinary life. But under the sacrifices that man can make, with the innocence of children at display, Majidi scores another poignant film.
